Climate Change Impacts Families in Focus on 2024 International Day of Families

Raising Awareness and Encouraging Family Involvement

The United Nations has designated May 15, 2024, as the International Day of Families, with a focus on the impact of climate change on families and the crucial role families can play in addressing it.

Global Concern

Climate change poses significant challenges to families worldwide, affecting their health, well-being, and economic stability. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise can disrupt livelihoods, displace communities, and strain family structures.

The 2024 International Day of Families aims to raise awareness about these impacts and encourage families to actively engage in climate action. By sharing knowledge, resources, and best practices, families can contribute to mitigating climate change and building more resilient communities.
